Spelling Workout 2001 Level B Student Edition
Spelling Workout has all the components you need to lead students from simple sound-letter relationships to more complex spelling patterns.
Students learn spelling skills based on phonics through unique, cross-curricular reading passages, practice, and high-interest writing activities. Packed with flexible lessons, motivating activities, including fun riddles and puzzles, this dynamic program leads students to spelling success!
Spelling Workout is a research-based workbook series for grades K to 8. It takes a phonetic approach in the lower levels and a structural approach in the upper levels to teach spelling. Each level includes 36 lessons. Each lesson focuses on 20 words grouped by a common feature such as a rule, pattern, or origin. Students practice using these words through a variety of activities, puzzles, and cross-curricular reading passages showing the words in context.
Student Workbooks are consumable, and lessons begin with a short passage to hook the reader. Word lists and a spelling tip follow, then exercises. An interesting point: word lists are in print type only in Level A. Levels B and C show the word lists in both print and cursive. Levels D and beyond show the list only in cursive. A cumulative review comes up every few lessons.
Teacher Editions include pre-test dictation sentences, spelling strategies, teaching notes, spelling and writing suggestions, and answers to the student workbook. (I like the idea of a student checking their own work with the TE and then bringing it to you for discussion.)
Packages with the student and teacher books are available for your convenience.
Spelling Workout is one of those programs that is not-too-this and not-too-that. The number of words and exercises are just right for many students. Don’t be fooled into thinking this series is “old-fashioned” because of the 2001 copyright. The reading passages are varied and interesting. The words are carefully selected. And your student will likely appreciate that the levels are A, B, C, etc. rather than grade 1, 2, 3, etc. if they are working a bit below their grade level.
